ghengiscoinhi04:12
ghengiscoinwhat's the story on firefox fo xubuntu upgrades?04:13
w30ghengiscoin, welcome04:13
ghengiscointhanks w3804:13
nanotubew30: you got a +8 :)04:14
w30ghengiscoin, all I know is I have Firefox 9.0.1 Mozilla Firefox for Ubuntu canonical-1.004:15
* Unit193 FF1104:16
w30nanotube, 8 bit player, ha04:16
ghengiscoinhmm - mine is 3.6.24 - when i use apt-get install firefox i get message already at most recent version04:17
nanotubeghengiscoin: which version of xubuntu? probably lts or some such?04:19
nanotubeyou could try adding a repository with a more recent firefox, such as firefox-stable, or ubuntuzilla04:19
w30ls -la /usr/bin/firefox04:19
w30lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 31 2011-12-28 04:33 /usr/bin/firefox -> ../lib/firefox-9.0.1/firefox.sh04:19
w30ghengiscoin, check and see how you are calling up firefox04:21
w30ghengiscoin, maybe you have both versions installed?04:21
ghengiscoinboth versions of firefox checking on Xubuntu version04:22
ghengiscoinmake that both versions of ??04:23
ghengiscoincmd is firefox with start-up notification04:24
ghengiscoinpretty sure I'm running xfce4 not sure how to check04:26
Unit193lsb_release -rd04:26
w30ghengiscoin, with firefox loaded try in a terminal ps aux | grep firefox04:26
ghengiscoinUbuntu 10.1004:27
ghengiscoini see still calling firefox-3.6.2404:28
ghengiscoinI will try to add a repository04:28
ghengiscoinand get back to you all - thanks!04:29
w30ghengiscoin, I run 11.10; I am not familiar with 10.1004:29
ghengiscoini think it's the latest with xfce desktop04:29
ghengiscoin?04:29
Unit193!fx604:30
ubottuFirefox 6 has been released as a security update for 11.04. For 10.04 and 10.10, you can use the unofficial and unsupported PPA at https://launchpad.net/~mozillateam/+archive/firefox-stable04:30
ghengiscoinhmm - so I'm behind the times - but I do have an older laptop04:33
ghengiscoinI added the ppa you recommend but it's not updating for some reason - probably needs some time04:48
nanotubetry also ubuntuzilla - i've been using it to good effect for years. (and i'm partial to it because i maintain it :) )04:52
Unit193Or try running sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade04:53
gvtmaththat did it - sudo apt-get dist-upgrade downloading now04:55
gvtmathsay, is it reasonable to donate to the opensource foundation instead of to each org from which I get SW?04:56
gvtmaththanks for all assistance - now running firefox 9.0.105:00
gvtmathgood night all05:00

mecoDo I need a cd to switch from ubuntu to xubuntu or could the entire process be done online?10:21
PopeJobyou dont need a CD10:23
Myrttino, you just install the xubuntu-desktop package like bazhang told you in #ubuntu10:24
PopeJobyou only need to install xubuntu-desktop10:24
mecoWould that be like 'sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop'?10:25
PopeJobexactly10:25
mecoAh..10:25
mecoI was just told this: "from my experience, xfce is no longer more lightweight than regular GNOME (compared to GNOME2, 3 I havent compared)"10:31
mecoAny comments on that?10:31
PopeJobno10:32
PopeJobyou will be able to choose gnome/unity or xfce on startup. if you want to get rid of ubuntu or xubuntu later on, see here: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome10:32
mecoNah, that wasn't the point as I read that text. It basically says that there isn't much to gain with respect to freed system resources by switching from ubuntu to xubuntu. Or am I reading it wrong?10:34

JT-oneRebafter updating today I'm having problems with my mouse, can anyone help?20:19
GridCubewhat kind of problems?20:20
JT-oneRebMouse just doesn't work after restarting20:21
TheSheepJT-oneReb: anything in the x logs?20:23
JT-oneRebI don't know, I'm really limited without a mouse20:24
JT-oneRebToday's update was a fairly large one with new grub20:25
JT-oneRebI ran the update and restarted the computer and then my problem started20:25
GridCubeJT-oneReb, tried un-plugging the mouse, and replugin it again?20:28
GridCubeif its usb it might restart in the moment20:28
GridCubeif its not then you might need to restart the computer without the mouse and then again20:29
JT-oneRebI just unplugged the mouse and plugged it back, not working20:31
JT-oneRebit's not a USB mouse20:31
GridCube:/ ok20:31
JT-oneRebI think that the update screwed things up20:32
TheSheepJT-oneReb: is it a com mouse?20:32
JT-oneRebyes20:32
TheSheepJT-oneReb: if it is, xubuntu has no way to detect it, you need to configure it in xorg.conf20:32
JT-oneRebCan you tell me how to get my terminal to open the typical ctr alt t isn't working20:33
GridCubealt-f220:35
GridCubexfce4-terminal20:35
JT-oneRebxorg.conf is command not found20:42
TVasEyesman 5 xorg.conf20:45
JT-oneRebOk I'm not real sure what that is going to do to get my mouse to work again OMH20:50
GridCubeJT-oneReb, you need to create a xorg.conf20:53
GridCubeusing x --configure after killing the current session20:54
GridCubethen you need to add the pointer to the pointers section20:54
GridCubeif its not there you will need to create it20:54
JT-oneRebcommand not found when I type xorg.conf20:55
knomeyou need to create, not run20:55
trinikronoGridCube: i believe you can go on one of the terminals and kill the current x session then run x --configure21:00
trinikronosudo service lightdm stop21:00
trinikronoto stop the x21:00
trinikronoi believe :D21:00
GridCubetrinikrono, :) im not the one with the problem, its JT-oneReb, but yeah thats exactly what he has to do21:01
trinikronowhoops lol21:01
JT-oneRebok I'll try that21:03
JT-oneRebI'm still not real sure about what it is that I'm doing21:03

trinikronoeightyape: why dont you try the 12.0423:12
trinikronoit would have the newest kernel23:12

trinikronoeightyape: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/xubuntu/daily-live/20120123/23:12
trinikronoyou would be able to download a iso that you can burn to a cd or usb drive to test it out23:13
eightyapeare they any further on with embedded intel stuff is the question tho23:13
eightyapeseems to be centred around that23:14
trinikronowell the newer kernels tend to fix things that where broken with older ones23:14
trinikronoso its always a good idea to test the latest ones first23:15
trinikronoor if you want to go backwards instead to lucid where it might of worked23:15
trinikrono10.0423:15
eightyapeyep some folks havent had so many issues with 10.04 bu t the last config from another use with the same comedy laptop was back on 8.0423:16
